As you were, recruits! Here on CartoonRecruit.com’s blog, I reflect on the past week in the animation industry and highlight job listings that might go overlooked. This week, I’ve been thinking about CG animation. If you’re my vintage or older, the first CG feature film you watched was probably Toy Story.

Working with 1995’s state-of-the-art technology, toys were an ideal cast; if the characters are supposed to have glassy eyes and plastic skin then you neatly avoid the depths of the uncanny valley. While the progress towards realism is an impressive series of technical accomplishments, I’ve personally enjoyed seeing films over the past decade embrace stylized characters, effects and movement like KPop Demon Hunters, Turning Red, the Spider-Verse series and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem.

Thank you, recruits! Truly! CartoonRecruit.com has officially hit its one year milestone, and I would like to thank all of the artists who have interacted with this project so far; including those of you who sent in job posts and feedback early on. There is much more that I would like to do to support artists looking for work in the animation industry and I hope that you will join me on that journey.

As part of the 1-year celebration, we have brought back the monthly portfolio threads on LinkedIn. We would like to make it as easy as possible for recruiters to find available talent, as well as create opportunities for artists to network and provide positive feedback on one another’s work. I look forward to seeing you in the comments!

Attention recruits! Some of our readers might remember that I started CartoonRecruit.com a year ago in August. My goal was to make an ad-free job directory that collected opportunities from across the animation industry. Since last year we shared a grand total of 3184 jobs!

With the anniversary approaching, I really wanted to get the blog going again. With the number of productions we feature each day, it’s too easy for interesting job opportunities to get overlooked. My hope is that this new blog format, which I’m calling “Three Things, Ten Jobs,” will help me reflect on each week and share interesting links without distracting from everything else I’d like to accomplish on a weekend.
